We didn’t call them ‘French Fries’ because the French didn’t arrive until centuries later. In our Native language, we called them “hip builders.”

North of the white man’s wall, south of the white man’s wall, we are still Indigenous and we’re still here. And you’re still paying $70 for fake tipis at Target.

🤔Trying to sort out the propriety of using Indigenous words, names and symbols as logos and team mascots? This film follows the eye-opening journey of a dad who's a fan of the Washington team after his son asked if the team name is racist.

I was in Marine Corps boot camp 25 years ago today. I joined one month before 9/11. At MCRD in San Diego, a plane is always taking off. Then, there was none. Our drill instructors told us that our training would be cut short & we’d be shipped to New York City to fight the enemy on Broadway…

Wopila! Thank you!

💡Who knew Indigenous people helped to build the World Trade Center? 🤯 Take a moment to read @simonmoyasmith.bsky.social insightful piece about the Ray Cook and amazing skills and talents Indigenous people like him brought to one of the US' most famous landmarks. 👇🏼

Read my piece about Ray Cook, a Mohawk. Cook helped build the World Trade Center without a harness.
